Pet insurance is probably the most important decision you will need to make for your puppy.

Pet insurance will cover approx. 80% of your vets costs if something should go wrong and I know only too well how specialists costs can easily end up in the thousands of dollars. You can read a story under our Main Menu about our beautiful girl Tiny ("Tiny's surgery) and how an accident slipping on our kitchen floor has costs us so far in excess of $20,000.

We never know what life is going to throw at us but being prepared makes all the difference and takes away the burden of having to try to find the money for urgent treatment that maybe needed and to know your dog is covered for these sorts of things really does help. Another thing that some people do not realise that if you don't have the funding sometimes the only option the vet will offer you is euthanasia. Having to tell your children that Mummy and Daddy had to send their dog to heaven because they did not have the money to treat their best mate will be one of the hardest things you will ever have to do. Most Pet Insurance costs around $60 per month & seriously I am sure everyone spends more than that at Maccas or on junk food.

These are the Pet insurance companies that were advertised in our Vet Journal magazine. I am hoping this will help make things a little easier when purchasing your puppy's insurance. Please check for accident and illness as well as when the insurance company stops insuring your dog. This is always in the fine print. I have only found 2 Pet Insurance companies that covers your pet for its life time from 6 weeks to 25 years & all the other's terminate your insurance when your dog turns 9 years of age, just when you need their help. One company is called Pet Med and the other Vetschoice.
